Work will continue Monday on a street improvement project on Lincoln Way between Hayward and Franklin avenues.

The work consists of new asphalt surfacing, according to a news release issued by the city.

Intersections on the south side of Lincoln Way will be closed in phases so that new asphalt surfacing can be placed and allowed time to cool.

Street affected by the work include, South Wilmoth Avenue, State Avenue, Hyland Avenue, and Sheldon Avenue. The asphalt cooling will take several hours. As the work is completed, the intersection will reopen.

Hayward Avenue will remain closed to traffic at Lincoln Way through the duration of the project. Access to Hayward Avenue continues to be maintained from Chamberlain Avenue.

Drivers should expect to encounter construction vehicles and activities in the area. City officials said pets and children should be kept away from the area for their safety.

If it rains, the work will be delayed until the next day with favorable weather, the city said.
